ribonuclease IX;
poly(U)- and poly(C)-specific endoribonuclease

Hydrolases;
Acting on ester bonds;
Endoribonucleases producing 5'-phosphomonoesters

Endonucleolytic cleavage of poly(U) or poly(C) to fragments terminated by 3'-hydroxy and 5'-phosphate groups

Acts on poly(U) and poly(C), with a higher affinity for poly(C), but does not act on poly(A) or poly(G).
